Extractions: Christopher Columbus (Christ-t'ief Come-rob-us) Italian explorer born in 1436. Columbus landed on the new world in 1492, however he was the one to bring slavery to an everyday living. He captured 1,500 Tainos on the island of Hispaniola. He took them to Spain and forced them into the slave market in Seville. Within 30 years, Spain destroyed the Tainos. They were estimated at 1 to 2 million peoples. After the slaves came to Spain, the Spaniards became very lazy, they refused to walk and they rode the backs of Indians. As if this wasn't enough the Spaniards were also responsible for cutting off slices of Indian slaves to test out the sharpness of their blades. After destroying the Tainos, Columbus introduced African slaves to Hispaniola by 1502. The trade expanded throughout the Carribean after 1510. There were more than 9 million slaves in the US mainland. However, to this day, Columbus remains a historic figure. He remains responsible for legacy of slavery, colonialism and the destruction of native cultures

Some of the sites you'll find: National Fire Protection Association http://www.firepreventionweek.org/ FPW 2001 combines America's favorite pastime with important fire safety tips to teach children and their families how they can "cover the bases" to "strike out" preventable home fires. Sparky the Fire Dog®, celebrating his 50th birthday this year as NFPA's mascot, will play a visible role in coaching families and communities on the simple steps they can take to avoid fires. Every year, we make a special effort to include children in our Fire Prevention Week campaign, with help from firefighters and teachers," says Meri-K Appy, vice president of public education for NFPA. "Kids are very effective at driving fire safety messages home, which is where the risk of fire is greatest. This year, we'll use a baseball diamond as a visual cue; each base on the FPW diamond represents important safety tips."
St. Patrick's Day Holiday Origin" His day of observance is likely neither his birth date nor death date, but rathera date selected for Patrick employed to try to teach the trinity to converts. http://www.holidayorigins.com/html/st._patrick_s_day.html

His day of observance is likely neither his birth date nor death date, but rather a date selected for convenience. At the age of 16, he was sold into slavery. He worked as a shepherd for six years before receiving a dream of his escape. From this spiritual awakening, he began a life long journey of divination, leadership, and ecclesiastic responsibility as a Deacon, Priest, and Bishop of Ireland. Not admitting to any miracles in his own writings, many miracles have been attributed to him. In particular a miraculous exploit at Tara against the
